The fashion show featured sixteen young participants who graced the runway in outfits from Lilly Pulitzer. Prior to the event, these budding fashionistas had the special opportunity to visit a Lilly Pulitzer store in King of Prussia to personally select their ensembles for the show. This personal touch added an extra layer of excitement and ownership for the girls involved, making the fashion show an even more memorable experience. The runway buzzed with energy as the girls showcased their chosen Lilly Pulitzer styles, perfectly synchronized to the upbeat rhythms of Taylor Swift’s popular hits, creating an atmosphere of fun and celebration.
This annual event is not just about fashion; it plays a crucial role in raising funds to support young women in golf. This year, thanks to the generosity of donors and attendees, the event successfully raised over $30,000. These funds are vital for furthering the mission of Building Game Changers and providing opportunities for young women in the sport. The day began with a morning of 9-holes of golf, fostering camaraderie and friendly competition before transitioning into the elegant luncheon and highly anticipated fashion show.
The concept for this unique event originated from Caitlyn Plover, a participant in First Tee – Greater Philadelphia Girls Golf. Her vision, conceived at a young age, has blossomed into an annual highlight, demonstrating the power of youthful ideas and initiative. Caitlyn’s idea has not only created a popular and enjoyable event but also significantly contributes to supporting young women in golf, blending fashion and philanthropy seamlessly. The success of the 5th Annual Tea Time Girls Golf Tournament & Fashion Show is a testament to the community’s support and the enduring appeal of combining sportsmanship with style.
